On the last day of school, students duct-taped Mr. O to a post outside the school during lunch. Other fund-raising plans include yard sales, bake sales, yard work and other team and individual efforts to reach the $1,500 per player goal. Players who helped with the tape job were, from left, Sam Chronowski, Briar Erskine, Gavin Ross and Connor Bjork.

Kain Lucero and Zachariah Griego, two members of the Pagosa Springs Pirates 2013 state champion basketball team, were selected to participate in the Colorado High School Coaches Association’s 56th All-State Games June 5-8 on the campus of Adams State University and at Alamosa High School.

According to the association’s website, this year’s event included boys and girls basketball, football, softball, volleyball and wrestling, but, “CHSCA is working to include additional sports in the future, with the hope of including all CHSAA (Colorado High School Athletic Association) sports in the multi-sport festival. The CHSCA All-State Games goal is to make this the premier high school multi-sport athletic event in the Rocky Mountain region.”
